STORETOEETSIS
Millinery Strop Is Invaded by
Court’s Collectors and Much
Stock Damaged,
Mrs. 1. Springer. 75 Whitehall street,
Is bitter today in her denunciations of
the justice court system which Atlanta
has tried so long to eliminate and
which may eventually be abolished
through a municipal court. Two bail
iffs from Justice Jackson’s tribunal
had invaded her milliner) store and
torn more than $7<M) worth of willow
plumes and trimmings from the eases
to satisfy a claim of sls, of which Mrs.
Springer declares she had no knowl
edge.
The raid on the store occurred dur
ing the absence of Mr. and Mrs.
Springer, while the store was in the
charge of several young women clerks.
When Mrs. Springer returned she
found the saleswomen weeping hys
terically and the store looked like a
wreck. The bailiffs had ruined goods
amounting to many times the value of
the alleged debt, she says.
"I don’t know why this outrage
should have been committed," said
Mrs Springer. "The bailiff from Judge
Jackson's court called up my husband
on the telephone and said Mr Sponger
owed them sls. He was very’ rough
and wanted the money right then and
wouldn’t explain what it was for.
"It was only a little time after that
v e got the telephone message that they
were in the store and taking out our
things. They had said they would
move the whole store unless they got
the money. I never felt so bad about
anything in my life. that, they should
humiliate us and take our goods off in
a dray, without even giving us the
chance to make bond: or do anything
It certainly is an outrage.’’

MAKES MILLIONS ON S2OO
RENO, June 28.—There is more or
lees romance in the appointment by
Governor Tasker 1,. Oddie of Nevada
of George Wingfield, of Reno, friend
and business associate of the late Sen
ator George S. Nixon, as L’nited States
senator to serve until the meeting of
the legislature in January, 1913. At
that time, the legislature will elect, a
successor to complete the unexpired
term, which extends until March, 1917.
The appointment was expected.
Senator Wingfield, now known as the
richest man in Nevada, was a cowboy
in the southern part of the state when
Tonopah first acquired prominence as
a-mining camp in 1903. He rode into
the boom camp, where $1 bought noth
ing more to eat than a plate of pork
and beans, with sl2 In his pocket.
The late Senator George S. Nixon
was then a clerk in a Tonopah bank
and grubstaked Wingfield, according to
popularly accepted stories, to S2OO. Five
years later Wingfield was rated a mil
lionaire and today is estimated to be
worth between $12,000,000 and $20,000,-
Otu). The greatest single factor In his
financial success has been his control
of Gollfield Consolidated.
Became Partners.
Within a few weeks after Nixon had
loaned the S2OO, Wingfield tendered him
the principal, and with it interest in
the sum of $4,000. representing half the
profits in a mining venture. Nixon told
him to keep the $4,000 and uee it for
his (Nixon’s) interest. The partnership
thus formed endured for six years.
Investments and speculations involv
ing hundreds of thousands of dollars of
capital were carried on independently
by the. partners, and often neither knew
of a deal the other was conducting until
its culmination. Their partnership,
which never was based upon any writ
ten agreement, was terminated in 1909,
with both men wealthy.
Nixon looked over the banking end
of their business, including the J. S.
Cook bank at Goldfield, through which
the greater part of th® tremendous
wealth produced by that camp passed.
Wingfield, scraping together all his
available cash and extending his credit
to the uttermost, took over their min
ing claims, including Goldfield Con
solidated. then regarded as a worked
out prospect.
Did His Own Fmanceering,
Ever a gambler for high stakes in
the mining camps, where thousands
of dollars changed hands on a single
turn cf the cards or dice. Wingfield
took a tremendous hazard (or displayed
a knowledge of the formations of the
Goldfields deeper than any engineer on
